Becoming A Better You

Last year, I took a good, hard look in the mirror and I realized that I didn't love the way that my body looked. My skin had been ravaged from years of staying out in the sun, and my figure was destroyed from childbirth. I knew that I wanted to tighten things up and feel a little better about myself, so I started looking into cosmetic procedures. I contacted a great doctor in my area, and he helped me to evaluate my body and give me ideas for procedures that would help. This blog is all about becoming a better you through the incredible art of plastic surgery.

Are you tired of using concealer and foundation to cover up your facial scars? Do you tend to feel self-conscious due to your scarring? This is perfectly understandable and fairly common. Facial scarring can occur because of acne, accidents, and more. Men and women alike are left feeling less confident due to their physical appearances. Fortunately, there are some effective treatment options for facial scarring that you can consider.

Peels And Masks: Scar Reduction In A Bottle

There are many different peels and masks that are designed to reduce facial scarring. They are sold in drugstores, beauty product stores, healthcare stores, and more. These peels and masks contain many different ingredients, but two ingredients are particularly popular:

Glycolic Acid – Glycolic acid is a type of alpha-hydroxy acid. It is often used in skincare products in low concentrations. Higher concentrations are used in facial masks and peels to help reduce scarring, persistent acne, and other skin afflictions.

Collagen Extracts – Collagen is a protein that is essential for healthy skin and hair. Collagen extracts are used in facial masks and peels to nourish skin and help it heal and strengthen.

Oils: Gentle Solutions For Healing Scars

If you want to avoid applying chemicals to your skin, consider using oils to treat your facial scarring. Oils gently nourish your skin and certain ones can reduce or eliminate scars. Two widely used options are:

Vitamin E Oil – Vitamin E oil is an excellent and affordable option for treating facial scarring. The antioxidant properties of this vitamin can help restore skin cells and fade scarring.

Tea Tree Oil - Tea tree oil is particularly useful if your facial scarring is caused by acne. This is because this oil has natural antiseptic and antibacterial properties. It can keep your acne scars clean while also allowing them to heal.

Microdermabrasion: A High-Quality Cosmetic Procedure

The options listed above can be very effective. However, they may require persistent use in order to achieve the desired effects. You may also feel a bit hesitant about using over the counter products. If this is the case, you may want to consider microdermabrasion treatments to reduce or eliminate your facial scarring.

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that uses a unique instrument that is very lightly abrasive. It gently removes the outer layers of your facial skin cells. This gives your skin a more even appearance and reduces the look of scarring. Compare microdermabrasion to sanding wood; both of these produce smooth, even surfaces. Speak with a cosmetic procedure specialist to schedule a consultation, and you can determine if this option is ideal for you.
